Jake Arrieta is a World Series champion and an NL Cy Young Award winner, but even he can't win them all.
The Chicago Cubs right-hander reluctantly (and painfully) paid off a bet with teammate Tommy La Stella on Friday. Here's proof:
According to MLB.com, Arrieta and La Stella made a bet back in June on the College World Series semifinals matchup that featured their alma maters -- Arrieta attended TCU, while La Stella is a Coastal Carolina alum.
As you might remember -- and probably can guess from Arrieta's new ink -- Coastal Carolina won that matchup and ultimately won the championship.
And Arrieta has permanent proof of that.
